  2. College Track Context • College Access Program in Bayview • After-school, center-based model • 230 students, about 110 daily from 4:30-7:00 • Offering tutoring, workshops, case management/mentorship college advisory, and student life activities • The ultimate goal of the program is college graduation (8 year program model)

  3. Four key components to the program:

  4. We Got GRIT: The Acronym

  5. Why GRIT and not grit? • Students like acronyms – creates a sense of community • Creates a tangible way to look at GRIT – and understand the variety of ways that the word can be interpreted • Gives a variety of synonyms and widens the use of the word and language we use around grit

  6. Growth Mindset: GRIT Language Shift

  7. Examples of language shift…

  8. Seeing GRIT: Visuals Visuals create a space where GRIT is cultivated. Visuals also allow individuals to be celebrated

  9. Making grit measurable: GRIT Rubric

  10. Why use a rubric? • Makes behaviors even more tangible • Students can observe and consistently evaluate where they have strengths and where they have weaknesses • Allows adults to have a consistent conversation with students around the GRIT traits • Particularly useful in ongoing mentorship type relationships

  11. Questions for Groups • What other ways can you see College Track or a similar program instilling grit in students? • What critique or feedback do you have for the College Track GRIT program? • What other ways (besides the acronym model) can you see making grit a tangible thing for students? • What strategies or methods would you use to instill grit in your students at your program/school?
